Railmaster - pre setting points

[803080193]

When I first built my layout, Railmaster would set the points each time it was started to a default poswition.  There was an upgrade to Railmaster, but since that, the points do not reset to the default position.  Any ideas?

"You can however, use the white box to customise the order in 'Standard' edition to an order that suits you."

 

Do you mean 'Pro' edition?

 

The white box does not appear in the 'Standard' edition and as far as I know the only way to edit the order of start-up firing is to delete each point configuration and re-set up in the order you require. I would pleased to learn if there is another way.

Make sure that the check box highlighted in yellow is still ticked.

Also, if the upgrade you mentioned in your post is an upgrade to RailMaster Pro. You also have to set a point start up firing order for each point configured on your track plan. Open your track plan in edit mode. Right Click each point and insert a point firing order number starting at 1 and going up sequentially [2, 3, 4, etc] to the total number of points you have [the number is typed in the blank white box......see yellow highlight in image below]. Once all points are edited, save the track plan, close and re-open RailMaster and test 'start up' again:

Particularly as my reply includes an image. If you use the blue button, any reply you write, may be held back for image approval. Even though it is already a previously published image.

Ooops.....thank you Barry for pointing out the error. You are quite correct. I have just checked my 'Standard Edition' RM and the 'white box' is not present......I genuinely thought it was as shown in the RM manual (which is where I pasted the image from). I have now edited and reposted my previous reply to correct it.

Finally got round to looking at this.  Thanks for the guidance, in the end all I had to do was to set up the order in which the points needed to be in their set-up poisition.

Thank you for the feedback....no matter how belated it is.

Just spotted this post and I concur that in Std edition the points fire at startup (if selected) in the order they were placed on the design plan.

Just to add my two-penneth ....

 

I have RM Pro and have "Set Points/signals at startup" ticked. In my track layout, I have startup sequence set for only those points AND signals I want to set - the others I leave the startup sequence blank. This works OK for points, so you would think signals would work in a similar way .... no, they are ALL set at startup, whether they have a sequence number or not.

 

I reported this ages ago, but like many of the faults I have reported, it seems to have been sucked into a black hole.
